Episode #25: Rowena Gates Interview

from Be Real with Vikram Deol · host Vikram Deol

Hey everybody! I'm really excited today because we get to talk to the co-founder of the Nano-V device-Rowena Gates! In her 30’s, Rowena and her companions were going skiing when their car had a head on collision. While the rest of the group survived, Rowena suffered from damage on her thoracic nerve - a nerve goes down at the back and controls the right arm. It was severe enough that her scapula winged out at 90 degrees and her shoulder girdle collapsed. It created a lot of torque & twists in her body and it means she can't lift her arm. She went to a range of neurologists; the last one prompts her that she will never use her arm again because no one ever recovered before. She was in pain for more than 8 years but she never gave up. She knew she had to figure out the puzzle and there's no reason to give up hope because she knew she would get better at some point. Please join me as we go deeper into her story. Please like, comment and share this. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vikram-deol/message
